Lite Movers

I have a 4' x 8' grow table and am currently using 4 each 400 watt hps lamps
with 39 each 23 watt cfls. (flowering only)
I am wanting to phase out the cfls.
At first I thought I would just get a couple of more HPS but I am thinking going
with a light mover instead.
What I would like to do is gang the 4 400 watt HPS fixtures together and move them
with 1 light mover.
My fixtures are homemade and measure 24 x 24 " at the base and weigh just under
10 lbs each.
The upgrade I have done thus far just adding HPS and eliminating cfl's has been noticiable. No suprises there.
Would the 1600 total watts be be enough for the table and can the movers be set up to move 4 lights.
My current grow is AK-47 with some aphrodite thrown in.
Any experienced input would be appreaciated.
Thanks

*light movers tend to break a lot, havent seen one decent setup that doesnt either breakdown( not good since its a light mover!) or needs repair every-so-often.. might wanna re-think the whole light mover thing.. for now :)

i know one I checked on sells a rebuild kit up front.
the theory sounds good though.
still looking for some conformation of expected improvements
in yeild. The poteiential for power savings is a giving.
